Mr. Kristofer created these awesome eraser prints with his 5th grade class!

In this lesson students learn about patterns. They used math and measurements to create radial balance and to cut their own frames.

Ms. Wagner did monoprinting with her elementary students!

The contrasting colors of Halloween were used in this project, but any colors could be used! The subject matter could also be adjusted to fit almost anything. 

This project seems so simple, but it is so effective in teaching children about monoprints. Children can create as many monoprints as they want by simply repainting and drawing a new picture. 

Materials:

Tin Foil

Paint

Rollers (paint brushes could be used as well)

Q-tips

Paper
